Turns out there’s a pretty cool New World engineering exploit where you can convert wood into rare metal ingots.

This New World exploit will let you turn lumber into steel, wyrdwood into starmetal, and ironwood into orichalcum ingots. It’s a really cool New World glitch that lets you convert your wood into metal, which is really nice when you have excess wood.
Also you get to level up New World engineering fast with this trick. It’s a really neat way to grind out starmetal and steel, even orichalcum.
Now you know the New world crafting cheat, hopefully there are more to come.

Damn man
this is cool but feel like iron is more important than other ingots
Will I get banned?
this guy speaks in question marks
It was like this in closed beta.
Probably not intended. Everything else seems to break down into the primary mats plus repair parts.
Silven found it first
Aged Wood fishing pole is better imo
well i just hit lv150 just now wtf.
Lol tmr it’s gonna get removed but let’s gooo
Well fuck me i Just leveled Up engineering to 100 using the bows and gunpowder
That's actually insane
a steel? spear? doesn't use steel. it uses iron?
It is really impressive how many people just watch the exploit reporting section of the forums and then make videos encouraging players to exploit known bugs.
1 sandpaper to make 1 timber and exponential more in the higher tiers. A really solid way to lose a lot of gold tbh
this is not bug , its so you can make item levels for low level players with higher perks on them

Very interesting!
Of course this is intended, due to the fact the common converter exist. You shouldn't do this because the mat ratio becomes big and your benefit becomes a coinflip. In addition, you lose progression on smelting which reduces the bonuses you get over time which are stronger high lvl.To create lumber you need sandpaper which exactly the same rarity as sandflax. For 100 faction token, where one mission give 6 of them you can convert with a very small loss of 5 ingots per 15 ingots. With this trick you lose definitely more ingots per 15 crafted. 1 kill is 100 tokens. Convert, level smelting equally profit from bonus high lvl smelting nets 500 ingots crafted can get 100 bonus that's where the profit margin increases ,the higher tier the craft the max the worth. Don't do this you lose not only longterm but in the short term because mats you don't use you can traded or hunt for trading hubs to sell higher.
11 sandpaper into 2 flux? Doesnt sound like a deal to me for steel. Starmetal and Ori is the way.
Problem its the wood, you still need the mats
that's not an exploit, the ratio is so bad that it is intended for sure. The dude who do this is just loosing mats
Lol iron ingots are going for 1.3 gold per on my server so I think i’ll keep my iron
this is stupid.
Noooo! shhhh! now they will fix it 🙁
This isn’t cool man, don’t encourage this behavior.
hmm interesting…
I'm using a treated bow to level engineering get 540 and no metal at all just lumber, linen, rugged hide
dont do this unless you want to be banned. youre not allowed to exploit bugs that are in the game amazon has said. this is not a intended feature just like power farming exploit which is now a bannable offense has stated by the moderation team in the official website
This is the stuff I love to find
can you get banned for it?
This isn't a good method. Are we just gonna ignore the fact you are trading 1 leather 5 iron ingots and 11 lumber (which means 11 sandpaper) for around 2-3 steel (2-3 sandflux)? Why not just craft things people actually want, sell it, use the gold to craft more, or just farm more materials?
crazy got this recommended turns out we are on the same server too
This so cool? I love how you speak in question marks 😆
this is no exploit just bad conversion ….
just got 100 enigneering, I followed your guiide
dont fuckin tell anyone D:
i remember when i found this. i thought it was cool, but it levels engineering, not smithing sadly. makes it easy to get some steel, but man, kinda wanted smithing
this has already been fixed
its 5 steel ingots for a iron spear now
